[my bad, I thought we were s'posed to post images, sorry]

Has anyone used color composite monitors such as the Magnavox Color 
Monitor 40  with a CoCo3? With the composite input, I figure it ought 
to be no worse than my Sanyo studio monitor TV, maybe better. I got a 
potentially righteous deal on one.

Any thoughts?

Worst case, it looks to be a decent display for an NES  ;)

Ah, a question comes to mind. Back about '91, I built a little 
two-transistor circuit to pick off , amplify & buffer the composite 
signal going into the CoCo2 onboard modulator. I think the circuit 
was in a Rainbow issue, not sure which.

Anybody recall which issue it was in (mebbe the Seattle Public 
Library has it 'fiched) or perhaps have the schematic as a GIF somewheres?

TIA!
